Muthafuckin launch trailer is out. I'm on the phone so grabbing the link would take too much effort.

Pete Hines recently tweeted that graphics are 1080p 30fps for both consoles, and PC has no restrictions on resolution nor fps.

Anybody that preordered through Amazon should have received an email confirming release day delivery of both the game and the strategy guide. I got mine through Gamestop so I'm braving the crowd at midnight in freezing weather in the hopes of getting some promotional shit to take home.

True, but I'm looking at the game from a technical perspective, whereas he was very blatantly going with opinionated bias. "It looks shitty" has no basis aside from personal taste.

Metacritic is brutal if you look at user reviews. Professional reviews do not follow that logic, with a 23-1 positive/negative split. There are two ratings systems for a reason.

Here is an actual review of Fallout 4 by a regular player on Metacritic: No "Hardcore mode", no weapon/armor degradation, no reputation system, no "traits", and the plot and characters are flat. But you can build weapons, houses and interact with the "real" pip-boy, so who cares?

Allow me to translate: "It's not New Vegas so it's garbage."

As for glitches, it's a Bethesda game on day one. After 18 straight hours in the game, it locked up on me twice. I've documented a few glitches, but aside from the lockups (which didn't freeze the console, btw) the only one that really sucked was where my companion wouldn't get out of "unconscious" mode even after fast traveling. Also, the radio skipped a track once. I missed half of Sixty Minute Man.

I'm not trying to be a dick to SushiYummy. I'm pointing out that his critique of the game lacked an editorial point of view.

not my critique its metacritics. my review is that its an rpg.I watched some guy stream it and die over and over again because the save was when he was being attacked by a dog so he had to mash q to get the turn based combat system going. This is all because the time he had to react was shortened by a stupid black screen everytime he loaded into his save. Eventually RNG saved him.

Edit: hype killed the expectations. Like watch dogs. dont overhype.

edit edit: as to quote totalbiscut:"i dont review rpgs because they take hundreds of hours to play" Professional reviewers play the game for a few hours and write their reviews. Really a professional review like ign: well it has bugs and stuff 9.5/10. What kind of review is that.

I'm really enjoying it. Bethesda really stepped up in the writing department. A bit sad repairing is not a thing anymore but that's fine since power armor requires regular upkeep. The game is pretty great. Mind you it doesn't make me move new vegas out of my top 10 of all time or anything but regardless it's great. Really like the legendary weapons/armor that can spawn off of enemies. My biggest issue has to be with companion accuracy. They are REALLY bad at aiming..

@sushiyummy32It's called metabombing. It happens occasionally with big time releases. With all the witcher 3 fans crowding up the fallout 4 forums on steam and elsewhere I'm surprised it's not worse. Witcher 3 may be a great game but that doesn't give them the right to act like asses.

It was slow to start, and I still feel like it could be faster, but there's story and backstory and soaking it all in takes time.

I like the lack of weapon and armor degradation, as I don't play for the RPG aspects, I play to be engaged by the story and the side quests. I've always found that shit to be distracting, when I have to wander off to try to find another gun or piece of armor to repair what I've got, or to find a suitable replacement.
